Yeah...the sorting is dependant on what is wanted to be acheived.
The 'ls' command will produce a sorted list of files in a directory.
The file containing the new names may or may not require sorting - depends on the users need. Sort may well be needed and used. But it may not too!

I have a variable with a value of "05". When I add one to that variable, using the command: CURR_YY=`expr $CURR_YY + 1`, I get the value of "6", losing the leading zero (which is needed for passing to another script). How do I keep the leading zero?

Hi, Unix Gurus,
In our existing file, there is a script like

sort::key::maker
Sort::Key::Maker(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Sort::Key::Maker(3pm)
NAME
Sort::Key::Maker - multikey sorter creator
SYNOPSYS
# create a function that sorts strings by length:
use Sort::Key::Maker sort_by_length => sub { length $_}, qw(integer);
# create a multikey sort function;
# first key is integer sorted in descending order,
# second key is a string in default (ascending) order:
use Sort::Key::Maker ri_s_keysort => qw(-integer string);
# some sample data...
my @foo = qw(foo bar t too tood mama);
# and now, use the sorter functions previously made:
# get the values on @foo sorted by length:
my @sorted = sort_by_length @foo;
# sort @foo inplace by its length and then by its value:
ri_s_keysort_inplace { length $_, $_ } @foo;
DESCRIPTION
Sort::Key::Maker is a pragmatic module that provides an easy to use interface to Sort::Key multikey sorting functionality.
It creates multikey sorting functions on the fly for any key type combination and exports them to the caller package.
The key types natively accepted are:
string, str, locale, loc, integer, int,
unsigned_integer, uint, number, num
and support for other types can be added via Sort::Key::Register (or also via Sort::Key::register_type()).
USAGE
use Sort::Key::Maker foo_sort => @keys;
exports two subroutines to the caller package: "foo_sort (&@)" and "foo_sort_inplace (&@)".
Those two subroutines require a sub reference as their first argument and then respectively, the list to be sorted or an array.
For instance:
use Sort::Key::Maker bar_sort => qw(int int str);
@bar=qw(doo tomo 45s tio);
@sorted = bar_sort { unpack "CCs", $_ } @bar;
# or sorting @bar inplace
bar_sort_inplace { unpack "CCs", $_ } @bar;
use Sort::Key::Maker foo_sort => &genmultikey, @keys;
when the first argument after the sorter name is a reference to a subroutine it is used as the multikey extraction function. The
generated sorter functions doesn't require neither accept one, i.e.:
use Sort::Key::Maker sort_by_length => sub { length $_ }, 'int';
my @sorted = sort_by_length qw(foo goo h mama picasso);
SEE ALSO
Sort::Key, Sort::Key::Register.
Sort::Maker also available from CPAN provides similar functionality.
